After finishing my last first week of classes as an
undergrad, I can’t help but reflect on the classes that have helped sculpt me
over the past 3 and a half years. Fortunately, I was able to intertwine some
electives to add some “fun” to my senior year. During the fall semester, I was
able to take a flower arranging class (HORT 360). The class is actually pretty
competitive to get into! Fortunately, for students in the College of
Agriculture, we get priority in enrolling into the class. The instructor is charismatic
and the class is interesting. This class is worthwhile, even though it may not
be in your major field of study. During my time in flower arranging, I was able
to learn about the dynamics that play into the flower industry. If you’re a
flower lover, the instructor also gives tips and tricks on how to save money
when buying flowers! For being a science major, it was nice to be able to
create something with my hands and incorporate creativity into my studies. Our
labs consisted of making corsages, vase arrangements, wreaths, foam arrangements,
and much more! I had a great time in the class and encourage anyone who has the
time to take to definitely do! Switching to this semester, I have also had the opportunity to
take the history of Rock and Roll (HIST 371); this is another great class on
Purdue’s campus. From my one week of class, the instructor reels you in and
grabs your attention. I’ve enjoyed the classes I’ve been able to taken within
the NRES field, and it’s been great to be able to take other classes in order
to make myself well-rounded.
Boiler up!
